I'm sure that other people have had this idea (after some Googling I'm actually sure of it). I have a dream of opening a brewery that allows local homebrewers to use industrial grade brewing equipment to make beer and sell it right in the brewhouse (keg straight to a tap at the same location).
I have some questions that I need to address before I can get too much further along in the planning process and I thought this was a great place to come for some advice. One day I will convince myself of answering these questions one way, the next another. I need some outside opinions from some other homebrewers!
So the big question is this, as homebrewers, if you had the opportunity to "rent" a brewhouse for a day to make a batch (full half barrel keg) of your own recipe that gets sold at the bar without need for licensing, branding, or distributing, would you do it? Assume that I can make all this work legally of course.
And the second big question I have is as a homebrewer (I'm assuming you will be brewing on a 5 gal system), would you be comfortable converting your recipe to a full sized keg as part of this process?
I'm looking for any and all opinions! You're insight is extremely valuable to me! Thank you!
